Luster of moonlight radiating off of splattered blood will blind most who come across it.I,For one,Would rather admire the one Tulip that wasn't stained on a battlefield I've never fought in.The world may be as ugly as our darkest desires,But,That doesn't mean beauty doesn't surround us everywhere we go.Just,A choice we're given the minute we...

Not A Garderner By Choice – Day 176, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
How have I endured the pain of your loss?Not a single clue I can conjure up,As it was your image that was magic to my eyes,Watered by your absence.Oh,How I've grown from every seed you've planted.In a garden we both took the time to grow.Until it was time to,Mow it all down and bury new...

As Our Pain Blossoms – Day 172, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Out of rubble comes an idea sprouting from the darkest depths of one's torchered soul.Even seeds drowned in the dirtiest water full of all kinds of bacteria grows,Beauty as profound as a broken heart being pieced back together while,Discovering it's worth lost within a pile of criticism thrown their way.Soil we've thought to be dead,Resurrects...

Testimony Of Victory – Day 96, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Another year,Another reason to be thankful,With a tank full of ink to drown away what's fatal.Five months without any smoke,Five years without liquor on a table,Full of books and a bible I discovered wasn't a fable… Just the kind of guide I needed,To suffice my need for a brighter day and a way to fight...

Clearing Out The Smoke
Hazy vision.Dazed and confused from each hit of cannabis in thought of my wrongfully made decisions.It's what I get for choosing fake friends while chasing after a distant ex,Sealing windows of opportunities concealing faith once filling up my chest… It's about time I lace up and get it back,Instead of laced bud in dirty bags,Only...

Zombified Views – Day 3 Of A True Journey, Truly
Zombies.They're real as much as you don't want them to be.They're produced everyday,Grounded in their pain with a television screen,Glued to their palms… Soaking in the roots of their cause,Even as they walk,Worried more for the drip they've conceded to hoping to evolve!Into everything they won't be by stunting in front of all watching as...

Leaves Of Peace (Repost)
Finally!Finally,Finally.Surrounded by the kind of nature that loves to tell a story.Leaves of paper bound to a spine strong enough to endure what broke mine.Reminders of what life can be like if I just,Walk away from what wants to efface my existence on a planet I’ve grown weary of.All I wonder is,What’s next?While my hands...

Rhubarb I Wouldn’t Eat
Lost in the winds of time. Caressed by turbulent flows of emotional rhubarb between myself and what I used to be. Accepting the seeds I've planted within soil out of reach for my demons. Conquering this tug-of-war I've promised myself to win at all cost, Willing to pay the price it takes. Even if I... Continue Reading →
Poison Ivy
Is it Writer's Block? Or, Is the Universe alerting me to, Breathe? To, Rest my wrist and mind before my love for life depletes! Because, Lately exhaustion and relaxation seems to be the trend for a man facing exile. A man who's prayed for the expulsion of pain, Receiving an abrupt ticket to any curb... Continue Reading →
Leaving It Behind Us
Leaves fall, But, Grow back eventually. Kind of like us. Taking a few steps back to leap forward even higher than where we were at originally, Leaving behind bits and pieces of ourselves, What we used to be. Doing whatever is necessary to change... Because, No matter how many leaves fall, Our trunks are set... Continue Reading →
